Wasn't trying to slight Konqueror , i should have been more clear, the 
comparison in the article was of course trying to paint IE as the poster 
boy for security(Safari was mentioned also and I think Opera but I can't 
stumble across the article again for the life of me) and implied that 
using FF was dangerous in the extreme. A notion I found laughable but if 
your completely uninformed you just might get taken in by the hype. As 
for Konqueror vs FF, well I haven't used Konqueror in quite some time 
now so I can't make an honest comparison. Might be time to fix that...
